# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title:*                     Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1505-0277.                

*Type of Review:*                     Revision of a currently approved collection.                

*Description:*                     Section 604 of the Social Security Act (the “Act”), as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Public Law  117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021) authorized the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (“CPF”). The CPF provides $10 billion in funding for the Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) to provide grant payments to States (defined to include the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), seven territories and freely associated states (including the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau), and Tribal governments to carry out critical capital projects directly enabling work, education, and health monitoring, including remote options, in response to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease (“COVID-19”).                

Section 604(b) of the Act prescribes that the $10 billion be allocated to eligible grant recipients according to a formula provided in the statute. Treasury has used this formula to calculate the CPF grant fund allocations for each eligible recipient and has posted these allocations on its website. In general, each State (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) will receive between approximately $107 million and $500 million, each of the seven named territories and freely associated states will receive approximately $14 million, and each Tribal government will receive approximately $167,000.

Treasury has separately received approval under OMB #1505-0274 for information collections related to applying for CPF grant awards (“Applications”) and for specifying the use of funds (“Grant Plans”).

For non-Tribal entities, the current information collection is used to solicit information related to quarterly project and expenditure reports and annual performance reports. Both information collections are described generally in the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for States, Territories, and Freely Associated Sates, which provides these recipients information needed to fulfill their reporting requirements and compliance obligations.

For Tribal entities, the current information collection will be used to solicit information for annual reports. The information collection is described generally in the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for Tribal Entities, which provides Tribal entities with information needed to fulfill their reporting requirements and compliance obligations.
